This NiSi Filter Professional Black Mist Kit for 49mm lenses includes three circular Black Mist filters, a NiSi filter pouch and a cleaning cloth. The filters add controlled diffusion to light sources while keeping shadows dark and preserving image character. They also lower contrast and soften skin imperfections, which makes them useful when you want a gentler, cinematic look.
The NiSi Black Mist filters create a soft, pastel-like quality of light. In practice, they diffuse bright light sources to produce a pleasant bloom while shadows retain their shade and blackness. At the same time, these filters reduce overall contrast and soften wrinkles and blemishes, making them suitable when you want a subtler, more atmospheric image without losing important detail.
The NiSi Black Mist Filters come in three strengths so you can choose how pronounced the effect should be. The available strengths are:
Available sizes include 49, 52, 67, 72, 77, 82 and 95mm, and each size is offered in the three strengths listed above.
The included NiSi Filter Pouch for Circular Filters has a semi-soft, lightweight design that fits easily in a camera bag. You can also mount it on a tripod leg for quick access. The pouch holds up to four circular filters with a maximum filter size of 95 mm.
